I am really disappointed and appalled by the way @Airbnb_uk @AirbnbHelp have handled the issues I have had. In addition, they have broken my trust and confidentiality. I will not be using them again unfortunately!

A plea: this account is run by frontline NHS staff. After the scenes today in Trafalgar Square our inbox is distressing. You don’t know how much it meant to all of us to see the tidal wave of support on the hashtag #gotyourbackNHS. If you support us please follow and RT 💙💙💙

I can’t stop thinking about how good it would be to have a really well made TV series about speech, language and communication needs. It could explore a different diagnosis/area of need each week (e.g. DLD/Aphasia/Speech sound disorder) and follow real people and real SLTs ⭐️

[Becca Forster @BeccaFSLT]

I love this book and all the resources. I use it regularly with the young people I support 👏

[Becca Forster @BeccaFSLT]

@ASOS @ASOS_HeretoHelp really disappointed with your customer service. My items arrived damaged due poor packaging of a product which smashed and leaked all over my other products and my own furniture. But apparently I cannot get replacements on the damaged items?

Wow over £1,100! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to this fantastic cause!!!! @PlacesLeisure @placesforpeople https://t.co/JTZijILeGo

Today over 80 organisations are writing to @BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet calling on the Govt to act now to build back better with people who have communication & swallowing needs. You can read the letter & accompanying policy statement here: https://t.co/D73p6JBVdN

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

As the government proposes a whopping 1% pay rise, NHS staff look forward to an extra 90 minutes of parking.

Here are a few quotes and excerpts from my review of Sia’s film Music, because others have been pulling quotes and I figured I might as well make it easier for everyone by just doing it myself 😂

You can read the full review at https://t.co/MnphjDJT9Y :)

[Get Hackney Talking @HackneyTalk]

SaLTs have a critical role in promoting use of the mother tongue. We must not deprive children of their identity. #InternationalMotherLanguageDay

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

Always struggled to understand why the idea of vaccinating teachers ahead of reopening schools is such a contentious issue.

[Tanita Tikaram💙 @tanita_tikaram]

Dear ⁦@BBCNews⁩ people are more concerned with today’s judgment that Matt Hancock & the government have broken the law & less about people losing titles. Your home page leads with Harry & Meghan , you are sidelining a huge story of corruption that affects us all .

[Michael “Shame Spiral” Gleason @_michaelgleason]

As someone with family members and friends on the spectrum this is deeply unsettling and inappropriate. Everyone should hold Sia accountable for this film and her complete lack of interest in handling this subject with care. #SiaDoesntSpeakForUs

[Becca Forster @BeccaFSLT]

I am actually lost for words.
What worries me is how many people 'okayed' this??????? #Sia #SiaDoesntSpeakForUs #autismawareness #Autism #ASD

[The Autisticats - #StopTheShock @autisticats]

I’m watching Sia’s movie, in order to write a detailed & chronological review (so that nobody else watches it out of curiosity).

But for now, I just want the public to see a few things that speak for themselves, starting with this image:

How to use your influence in a positive way 🙌 Well Done @DrAlexGeorge #MentalHealthAwareness

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

I’m delighted to announce that we have appointed @DrAlexGeorge to be our Youth Mental Health Ambassador.

Young people have sacrificed so much during this pandemic and we are going to do everything we can to support them.

[RCSLTpolicy @RCSLTpolicy]

81% of children with social, emotional and mental health needs have language difficulties.

It’s crucial that as a society we recognise this and give these children and young people the support they need to express themselves

Another really interesting talk! #autismawareness #genderidentity #sexualorientation

[London Autism CEN @LondonAutismCEN]

It's a pleasure to welcome Dr Osman Malik, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at Evelina London Children's Hospital, talking on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in ASD
